When someone searches on Google or any of the other lesser known search engine for your name, what do you think they will find? Do the results make you look good or bad? Building and protecting your digital footprint is not a nice to have anymore, but a must have as it can determine your success online.

Your digital footprint – or virtual identity – is anything that can be found about you online. This could be your social media profiles, or your personal blog; it could consist of reviews you have written for products on sites such as Amazon and eBay, or discussions you might have become involved in on forums, or even your browsing history.

Every day, whether we want to or not, most of us contribute to a growing portrait of who we are online; a portrait that is probably more public than we assume. So no matter what you do online it’s important that you know what kind of trail you’re leaving, and what the possible effects can be.

But what happens to your virtual profile once you are unable to manage or control it, or when you are deceased? Who will keep your profile updated or close/maintain your social media account? Who will make sure sensitive information is kept secure and private?
You may be an eternal optimist, but no matter your outlook, things will inevitably happen that take the wind out of your sails. Being prepared doesn’t mean changing your optimistic nature. It only means that you care for your future and for the memory and digital footprint you leave behind.

You might have some content online that is questionable, or information you would like to be kept private, or subscriptions and questionable memberships that need to be cancelled. You surely don’t want to put your loved ones through any embarrassment or ruin their loving memory of you by leaving them to sort out some information about you that might be hurtful.

That is why we offer or clients the discreet service of managing their digital footprint after they die. From your social media profiles to your browsing history and subscriptions will be managed by us when you can’t. From as little as $5.00 a month you can now rest assured that the legacy you leave behind will be cherished! Contact us at info@planbrands.co.za
